About Transforming Age

As a national not-for-profit organization, Transforming Age is guided by our singular vision to “transform the perception of age” and to make life better for older adults and society. We have a different perspective—one that views aging as a declaration and an opportunity to continue to lead an independent and purposeful life.
We believe that this simple shift in perspective will have profound implications on products and services for older adults as well as for the companies that serve them. Transforming Age is a holistic network of products, services and partnerships that develops innovative housing opportunities, technology solutions and programs for older adults.
